1936 A sad day for Broadway as Paul McCullough, half of the popular comedy team of [Bobby] Clark and McCullough, dies after he slashes his own throat and wrists. Despite a hugely successful 31-year career, McCullough had battled depression and exhaustion for most of the previous year. He had just been released after several months' treatment in a sanitarium when he stopped for a shave, seized the barber's razor, and committed suicide. His shows included Strike Up the Band, Walk a Little Faster, and Thumbs Up!
